About this postcard

A large green two-story building with a mansard roof and a veranda stands beside the Charles River. Signs reading 'Sodas' and 'Candies' mark it as a riverside refreshment stop, Nutting's on the Charles in Waltham, Massachusetts. The broad veranda and river setting suggest a place for casual summer outings and refreshments by the water.
